In the early morning of March 25, Shandong Taishan center Guo Tianyu announced through personal social media that his visa had been completed and he was about to embark on a plane to Portugal. On January 27 this year, Shandong Taishan Club and the official social media of the Chinese national team both announced the news that Guo Tianyu had joined the Portuguese Premier League on loan, which made Chinese fans very excited. However, due to the long processing time of the visa, Guo Tianyu did not officially embark on the road to stay in the West until today, 2 months later. This also made the Tarzan fans breathe a sigh of relief.
Last season in the Chinese Super League, Guo Tianyu scored 10 goals and delivered 1 assist in 22 Games of the Chinese Super League, tied with Zhang Yuning as the top scorer of local players, and is one of the biggest contributors to Taishan's double victory in the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup. His height of 1.92 meters, excellent physical resistance and strong forward impact are impressive. In fact, at that time, Guo Tianyu was considered to be the most promising Chinese player in the young generation to gain a foothold in Europe.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Shandong Taishan, as a veteran Chinese Super League giant who has been deeply involved in youth training for more than 20 years, has never discounted sending players out. In the 2007 season, they released zheng zhi, the absolute core of the team, according to the requirements of the contract, and this is the most important reason why the latter is still the most important reason for the Taishan team to return to China. And this time Guo Tianyu from the gossip to the official announcement, before and after only a few hours, Shandong Taishan still does not drag mud and water in this regard.
What is the significance of Guo Tianyu staying in the ocean? The first is naturally a personal promotion for him. In last night's match between Japan and Australia, the 24-year-old striker Kaoru Mitsuru, who came off the bench, scored twice in 5 minutes to help Japan beat their opponents 2-0 away and lock in the World Cup qualification in the early round. This is only kaoru Sanji's second national team match for Japan, and the Belgian First Division he plays for is no more than a third-rate European league. Even so, his progress is there for all to see.
Guo Tianyu shined last season, with 10 goals. However, in the slightly extensive tactical play of the Taishan team, Guo Tianyu's progress is actually very limited, he still relies more on his excellent physical fitness to eat, and the awareness of foot technology and teamwork has not been eye-catching. If he continues to play in the Chinese Super League, his upper limit is Han Peng.
Although the Portuguese Premier League is not the traditional five major leagues, their overall level is very high, and they pay great attention to technology and cooperation. This season's Champions League, Benfica and Portuguese Sports have all made great efforts to reach the knockout rounds, and Benfica has defeated The Dutch League champion Ajax to reach the quarter-finals, and together with another traditional portuguese Super League giant, Porto, they are all famous "black shops" in European football, often sending outstanding players to the five major league teams. If Guo Tianyu can exercise and grow up in such a league, his future is still very promising.
The biggest significance of Guo Tianyu Liuyang is to inject a shot of strengthening agent into the downturn of Chinese football. Last night, the national football team led by Li Xiaopeng drew a 1-1 draw with the powerful Saudi team without the help of 4 major naturalized players and Wu Lei. In the game, Li Xiaopeng used a large number of post-90s players, and Zhu Chenjie, who scored a penalty, was a post-00, but when the national football team needed to score, he could only send the 33-year-old veteran Dabao, whose walking and eye defense in the game caused dissatisfaction among fans after the game. But the reason why Yu Dabao can still get opportunities in the national team is also very simple, there is no successor. If there are more players like Zhang Yuning and Guo Tianyu, Li Xiaopeng will not be unavailable.
At that time, Yang Chen, as a substitute striker for Guoan, landed in the Bundesliga and shined, and when he returned to china to participate in the national team competition, whether it was receiving the ball, running position or shooting, there was visible progress with the naked eye, and eventually became the main striker of the national football team to enter the World Cup. The reason why Japan and South Korea can play back and forth with European and American powerhouses is that the huge foreign legion is their biggest strength.
Therefore, I hope that this time Guo Tianyu stays in the ocean, the longer the better, the faster the progress, the better, after him, the younger generation of people go out to stay in the ocean, the better.
